New York Mets 2B Reese Havens (back) said he'll always be dealing with back problems and acknowledged that he'll never be quite 100 percent. However, he focused on core strength in the offseason and dabbled with Pilates while also doing baseball activities. Havens will likely start at Double-A Binghamton this year.

New York Mets minor league 2B Reese Havens (back), currently playing with Double-A Binghamton, has been activated from the disabled list. He had been sidelined since spring training because of a back injury.

New York Mets 2B Reese Havens, who has worked at shortstop during his career, is healthy and will work exclusively at second base in camp. Manager Terry Collins said once Havens gets to the minors to open the year he would be exposed to other positions, too.
